Background

Riversdale Estate is located in the Coal River Valley and lies in the shadow of the famous Utas radio telescope. The nearby museum was named in honour of the founder of radio astronomy, Grote Reber, so it's not surprising that Riversdale Estate turned to the cosmos for inspiration when naming their range of ultra premium, cool climate wines. CRUX:(latin:'cross'-pronounced 'CRUCKS').Commonly known as the Southern Cross, smallest of the 88 modern constellations-but one of the most distinctive.
